MATED QUEENS
Our mated queen bees embody some of the finest genetic traits from reputable UK and European breeders. With meticulous selection and breeding processes, we ensure superior genetics to transform your apiary and make beekeeping enjoyable.
BUCKFAST QUEENS
Our F1 Buckfast queens are grafted from selected, pure Buckfast F0 breeder queens which have been artificially inseminated to ensure perfect mating takes places and the exceptional maternal and paternal Buckfast genetics are passed to the offspring.
BRITISH QUEENS
The UK season for mated queens is short due to our climatic conditions, but we proudly raise as many UK mated queens as we can in the limited season. Our British Queen Bees are used in our overwintered nucs and are calm, placid and prolific.
CARNICA QUEENS
Carniolan bees are prized for their rapid spring build up and calm, gentle nature. Much darker than Buckfast hybrid bees, these black bees are well suited to the UK conditions and can produce a bumper honey crop over the course of a season.
This is my first hive but my mum has kept bees for the last 30 years so I’m kind of used to them. These are really super chilled, not that I’m recommending this but I can happily carry out inspections and manipulations using a smoker but no other gear.
